Present in a live event in Microsoft Teams
Important:
-
Teams live events will no longer be going away on September 30, 2024, as previously announced. While we still recommend switching to Teams town halls for new features and experiences, you can now schedule live events beyond September 2024.

For more information, please read this blog post for more information.
As a presenter, you'll be one of the people working behind the scenes to make the event successful.
In Teams, select Join to join the event as a presenter. From outside of Teams, select the join link to open the live event in Teams.
As a presenter, you share many of the basic capabilities of a producer, but you don't have as much control over the video feeds or the live event itself.
